Day 23 - Eat my shirts

<gloat>

Well, I've been told that I have to gloat in this post, something that doesn't come naturally to me. But still, if you look at the evidence, there is some justification for engaging my gloating muscles. I now have a 5 point lead over both King Pete and Monkey Magic - unprecendented, I think - and a glance at the cumulative score graph reveals that I have now been in the lead for 9 consecutive days, also a record.

Yet it was with modest ambitions that I came in today wearing my Palm Beach, Florida tee. It's an old favourite that I like for the fit, colour and the fact that it has front, back and sleeve prints. I wasn't convinced that it would win me first place, but faced with some lacklustre competition from Pete's umpteenth O'Neill T-shirt (he swears this is the last) and Nick's understated grey effort, I was in with a chance. To be fair, I quite liked Nick's, particularly the stripes that run all the way around the shirt, but history tell us that Judges rarely go for 'understated' or 'subtle' designs.

So three points came winging my way, with Pete getting 2 and Nick 1, placing me in aforementioned first place. Another week start's next week and we've introduced some new rules - look out for a post from MonkeyMagic over the weekend.

After looking at the cumulative score graph, as suggested, I'm afraid my conclusion is that there does not appear to be any statistically significant different between the 3 competitors. In other words the same results could have been achieved without the intervention of all those lovely folks in your neighbouring labs, and the substitution of a good ol' roll of the die ( a D&D D20 would be good..)

Never mind, since this is more "first past the post politics" than "controlled trial" I'll allow you a little gloat...

I usually protect you guys from the Spam-comments that get posted on our blog, but the one above was just priceless! (and very informative...)
